Congratulations Ms. Hidilyn Diaz for winning the first-ever Olympic gold medal for our country (Philippines) at the major international sporting event in our Planet Earth! Mabuhay ang Pilipino! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas! 👏👍🙂

I am so happy for her and for your country! YAY!

Is she from Olongapo? I remember PI it was our favorite port of call, that and Thailand, we had big fun there. They could have used her to throw drunken sailors and Marines out of bars every night. Glad she won though!

YES! That is so wonderful.

Mamasattva representing the strong women!
